The rumor Is current In pollco circles that It is the intention of the "powers that bo" to hereafter appoint none but married men lo positions on the forco.

It Is Now Ciipinltt Fnwlrr. For some tlmo past , la fact ever since the retirement of Captain Dyer from the pollco force , TJII : 13rc has repeatedly urged the ap pointment of another permanent captain of the forcp. The method pursued since that time , of shifting the captaincy every week from ono patrolman to another , has resulted disastrously , and the citizens generally will rejoice to know that a permanent captain has at last been appointed. When the mem bers of the night force reported for duty last evening Mayor Hohror was present , and after maklug quite a lengthy address an nounced that Olllccr F. P. Fowler had boon promoted to the position of permanent captain Ho stated that the captain would see to the working of the force at night , would see that thu patrolmen kept on their beats , m short , would bo responsible for any failure on the part of the members of the night force to attend strictly to their duty. It Is only to 1)3 regretted that such an im portant move was so long delayed. It will require but a very short time for the now incumbent 10 provo cither his Illness or unfitness - fitness for his position , and It Is hoped that his efforts will bo attended with success. If Us clearly proven to the public that nn at tempt will bo made hereafter to so manage the force that the greatest * good will result from it , the move will meet with a most hearty second nt the bands of the public. If it Is known that an oftlcor Is transgress ing rules and neglecting duty when ho is ab sent from his beat , and that It is not the In tention of the mayor to overlook such trans gression , but to punish the transgressor , nn interest will be felt In the management of the force that has not heretofore been mani fested , and all moves to better this branch of thu city service will meet with hearty co-op eration.

Scott Is Dlsalinrucd. The preliminary examination of nz-Polico man C'V. . Scott , for the murder of his .mis tress , Lottie Leland , was concluded before Judge Aylcsworth yesterday , and resulted in nn acquittal of the prisoner. The lower court has declared the belief that Scott is not guilty of the crhno charged , but this declaration does not and can .not restore the subject of such unenviable notoriety to the position which ho hold in private life and la the estimation of the publiu before the com mission of the tragedy which robbed a woman of the t6wn of her Ufa. The In- elTaceablo stain of his connection and associa tion with thu woman will still attach to him , and U tliero yet remains in him the slightest particle of shame , the public knowledge of his dishonor may bo to him a moro severe pun ishment than any that the law could possibly inflict. That thare will bo no further legal prose cution of the case Is by no means certain , as the county attorney states that the ease will bo laid before the next grand jury , and It they sco lit to Investlcrato it or to return an indictment against the man on any of the testimony already introduced or any now evidence that will bo presented , a vigorous prosecution In the district court will follow. The refusal of Iho Judge of the criminal court to bind Scott over .to the grand jury was a surprise to many , yet not to the attor neys and others famllla * with the case , who realized how little real evidence was to bo had on which to attempt to prove the pris oner's guilt. The examination was commenced at 10 o'clock. Tbo witnesses introduced wcra Hnlllo Turner , Daisy Robinson , Hazel Gray , Blanche Clifton. Minnie Sneatbo , Dr . Green , Laoy and Macrae. No now evidence was elicited , qnd In the afternoon the defendant - fondant was placed upon the stand in his own behalf , His story has already appeared In Ibcso columns nnd does not need repeti tion in full. Ho domed that Ijo opened the gun until ho reached llio bottom of the stairs ami did not thoa extract any loaded cartridge * , as there wore none In the gun , Ho admitted that ho was in the room , having gone tUero wlth , the deceased. Had removed his coat and vest and given the deceased two dollar * and a halt in money , when she picked up the gun and emptied It. When she shot herself she was standing near him , and as she felt tbo gun dropped on his foot. Ho picked it up and hurried down stairs. Ho explained the uoU sent by him to the deconwd , requesting an ntorvlow on the nl-jht o' the shooting , and niklng her to leave with him. Ho stated that the woman was tired living at the Clover bnsnto , and wonted him to cot her n boarding nlnco at a Mrs. Woodruff's , near Strcotsvlllo , and wanted to see her on the 'atal night to toll her about it , anil got her to leave with htm , Tin ) colored girl testified that she had loard Scotland the deceased quarrel be cause the latter desired to have nothing more to do with him and1 'take up" with some 0110 clso. There was practically no further evidence ntroJucod , and the case was submitted. In ruling upon the case , the court remarked ! "Tho evidence submitted is not sufficient to warrant holding the defendant to the grand Jury on the crime charged. 1 don't suppose there U any doubt but that It would Co him good to bo hung for n while for other acts of which ho Is evidently guilty ; but there Is nothing to-show thixt ho was con cerned rti the ohootlng. There Is an entire lack of motive lo compel him to kill the woman ; In fact , from the evidence , 1 am led tobdliuvoth.it ho had a strong motive to want her to live. Ho Is not charged with other crimes than murder , and thu court cun not hold him for that , on the oviilonco that hns been introduced for that purpose. " Scott's wlfo and chllo , wltn a few lady friends and tlio father of the defendant , were in the court room during the trial. When the defendant was called to the stand the ladies , nt the suggestion of Colonel D. 13. I.UIoy , defendant's counsel , withdrew from the room , and remained uway while his testimony was being given , In discussing the matter , after the bearing was concluded , the prosecuting attorney stilted that there was something very strange about the case , Inasmuch as several of the witnesses hud forgotten HO much in so short a tune , giving rlso to tlio bohof tiat | certain pressure had been brought to bear. During the examination ol Ofiicor Fowler , It developed that'll stranger , who had visited the houao a few hours before the tr.igcdy , had threatened to return and mnko ttin in mates "soo stars. " When n lcod what kind of stars were referred to , thn witness was at a IOM for an answer. The attorney hazarded the opinion Unit a policeman must have been meant. 01 police stars were more frovucnt than any other about that mansion do Jolo , if nil reports were to bo buliovcd. Thu witness , Blanche Clifton , who was very intliuuto with the dcccaica , testified thai on the Thursday night preceding the tragedy she was with the latter at the rond- l.nuso ball on lower Broadway. It will bo remembered that ox-Ofllcer Jnsolyn got Into trouble through bomi ; at this ball , as ho was charged with taking homo a prostitute from that festive gathering. His denial of this Is already u matter of record. The witness was asl d regarding this uuttsr , and stilted that these wora six parties In , the hack re turning to the city. Those parties , she said , Were herself , the deceased , an Omaha pros titute , ox-onieor Josolvn , "Tit" Willis , Onialm's skillful ball itosser , , uid another blooded youth from the city across the river. Her story is so directly contradictory to Joselyn's. that it is probable Jthat the ex- ofllcor will take stops to produce satisfactory proof as to Just what happened on that memorable night.

Girder Rails For 1'nvod Strcnts Only. The iron for the Fifth avenue motor line has arrived , and work lias been resumed. There are four cars of "T" rails and ono of girder rails. There Is an injunction still pending to restrain the coramny from using the "T" rails on certain portions of Fifth avenue , and the city council passed n reso lution declaring their IIHO within the city limits a nuisance. In discussing this point yesterday , an experienced street railway man expressed his views as follows : "The ! " rail is the onlv kind to use on an unpavcd street , and If the citizens would look into the matter they could not fn.il to sec it. A girder rull is all right on paved streets ; in fact , nothing clso will do , und an examination will convince anyone why this is so. The girder rail Is really sot up on stilts to allow of plank and paving being laid inside the tracks , but the * T' rail only rUes a very little above the tie. It is Impossible to make a crossing stay In place across girder rails on unpaved streets , as there is so much dirt under them that , they are always settling. Another thing , the ties under the rails are only two foot eight inches apart , \vnlcli holds the dirt solid , but under the girder rails they are four feet , and the road boa would get no support. "With a T rail , the proper thing to do Is to require the company to run a plank along ( ho outside of the rails , in the same manner as the Manawa motor has done for two or three blocks on South Ninth street. This allows teams to cross readily , but it can not bo dona with a girder rail. A 'T1 rail should bo so laid that it will como but llttlo above the surface of the street , just enough to allow of successfully running a snow plow. I itn- ngtno that , if people only understood the merits of the two rails they would not want a girder rail on a dirt street.

Silhouettes < > L en VOL Every now and then seine new idea in fancy or ornamental work to occupy the attention of ladies is brought out , and latest is the developing of silhouettes on leaves. A lady who has been engaged - gaged in making dark pictures , when spoKen to on the subject , said : The leaves upon which the best silhouette - houotto is made , are these of the maple , oak , elm or limo tree ; it is nec essary to pick out fresh green ones , not touched by any insect , aiid wholly pro portioned to the chosen design. First you cut out of paper ( the thicker the bettor ) the figure you have selected ; place it on the center of the leaf , and pressing down with the thumb and fore finger , rub very thoroughly with a still brush the exposed part of "tho loaf , being careful not to lot the paper move from its original position on the leaf. To guard ugulust this the design may bo pasted on with starch or Hour paste , but , if possible ; , , it is best to do without this aid , as in removing the design the loaf may very easily bo torn , nnd , even if it bo not , any foreign matter brought in close contact with the surface of the leaf will spoil its beauty , If not cause It to wither. Sorno suggest that the loaves bo laced in cold water for a few hours , S ut this is unnecessary if the loaves have been carefully chosen and have not begun to 'wither. ' The rubbing with the brush removes the matter of which the loaf is composed and leaves only a sort of network of line volna. The parts of the leaf covered by the paper design nro loft in their original condition , and in this way is obtained an effective , un- polisliod silhouette , standing out in relief - liof on a semi-transparent ground. Be ginners should cheese the most simple figures , such as heads of animals , How- era or birds , and then gradually pass to moro difficult ones. Sometimes good pictures , views of buildings and coun try scones nro artistically reproduced on leaves by this method , which is not in the least a difficult one , but ojily re quires a little dexterity and patience. uc llonip. Tlio Shaker rookors , as they are most improperly called , , , , which wo buy 'or 00 cents a piece and iiiso for ono summer upon the pia/.sa ; and throw away because of broken splints und decrepit rookors , says a writer in1 the American agricul turist , can bo gUcdesssully treated by the homo worker , npd made to fill an important part in house furnishing. Ono of the ol < h chairs thus trans formed nnd promoted to an honored place in the sitUng room was deprived of its broken ( Town rockers and the badly damaged splints which had mudo the Keuts , A iiflwi seat was made by sewing strong 'duck across the bars Which had hold Jljo splints. A loose cushion 8 lulled with hair was made of ticking and tuokcd down upon the duck. The back , whiqli was ingeniously made uncomfortable .by wood on slats , wus also supplied with a hnlr cushion. Indeed down in many places , and well secured to the slats. Across the top of this cushion was sevvod ono of the br&r\d steels used aS dress oxtondorsj without this support the cushion would sag in Ilia middle after the fashIon - Ion of moat homo-inndo upholstering. Tlio outer cover , which made the chair beautiful , was made of pulp blue saloon , ornamented with Edelweiss ( lowers scattered on full face without either stems or foliage.

When I oamc , seine two weeks ago , to this flourishing town overlooked by the 131uo Ridge nnd well built up ( Homo-Hko ) on its seven hills the ma jority of Its 20,000 people scorned to talk of nothing but the advent of Sam Jones and his sayings and doings , past and prospective , writes a correspondent of the Now York World from Lynchburg , Vn. Well , ten days Imvo passed and Sam .Tonos hns boon'lioro , electrified the whole town "turned it upside down , " ono .old lady said and departed. The people had had the most curious idcns about Sam. Tno children thought he was n sort of a one-man circus. Two youngsters , who accompanied mo on my first trip lo this Immense tobacco ware house where Sam held forth to some 5,000 people , were bitterly disappointed to sco no animals. "There's not even a monkey , " said ono , fretfully. "What's ho going to do , anyhow ? ' ' asked the other. "Drive the dovll out of town. " "O I" returned the Httlo ono , "I'd like to sco him do it. Let mo got up on a bench. " Uo got UP and gn/.od at Sam with so much wonder in his small face that the people around shook with sup pressed laughter. There is not much evidence of power in the thin , wiry frame of this famous evangelist from Georgia , but his brain power is uncommon , his manners mag netic , and ho has como nearer to per forming the feat of dislodging Satan from this spot of the earth than any one hero ever dreamed was possible. Hero uro the statistics : Seven hundred con versions , $8,000 raised for the Young Men's Christian association , at whoso request ho came ; S3,000 for the "Woman's Training School for South ern Women , " and $251.38 for the Or phans' llomo in Georgia. These sums do not include the necessary expenses of the campaign. At the llrst meeting the collection baskets were returned with barely" $10. Sam shook hia head and said , gravely : " 1 have always hoard that Lynchburg was the richest town for Us size in the country , and I see it means to stay so. " Soon afterward ho was hoard recom mending his sermon called "Quit Your Meanness , " as his best ; and the young man who was soiling his book at the door ( "on his own hook , "Sam took care1 lo inform us ) had a great run on the au thor' favorite volume , nnd their later contributions show that it enlarged their minds. Jam Jones knows human nature too well to roubo the antagonism of his hearers by bellowing at them. Hia clear , sweet voice is as soft , and at times almost as low , as a woman's ; yet it was distinctly heard throughout the largo audience. Ho uses plain English calls ' a spade a spado" and does not hesi tate to say a man is a liar and a hypo crite if he has good proof that such" is the case , and ho gives his scriptural authority for doing so. Ho was so severe - voro on "tho beastly old rumsollors and drinkers" that there was some fear of dynumito for the bold speaker. Sam heard of it ( as ho seemed to hoar of every rumor about himself ) and said calmly that ho "was not at all afraid of being killed ; that a man who really believed in heaven ought not to fear being sent there at short notice. " Then ho told us how dynamite had been placed in his stable iii Georgia , and a warning letter sent to his house advising him to get out of his town as quickly us possible. "I con sulted my wife , " ho continued , "told her I wouldn't budge a stop for my own sake , but it might bo my duty to go for hor's. " "Never " she " , replied ; "stay where duty calls you , Sam , and if I must die before my time I would just as boon go to heaven by the dynamite route us any other. " Well ! Such scones as took plnco in this town during his stay have rarely been equalled. Hardened , wicked men , , whom their neighbors had hnndodovcr to Satan long ago as his lawful prey , suddenly awakened to the fact that they had immortal souls. Some of them were prominent , wealthy citizens others were poor , hard-working men ; but their faces were the same earnest , de termined look as they walked side by side up to Sam and nskod him to pray for their salvation , while all around were as quiet as death. The tears rolled dovvn the evangelist's cheeks as ho grasped their hands , nnd , after tak ing their names , referred them for in struction lo the pastors of the various churches , who stood behind on the platform. There was no visible oxcltomont , no disorder nor confusion of any kind in the itnmonso audience. The music was excellent. Prof. Excoll , the lender of his choir , and Rov. Mr. Culpopor , Sam's assistant , received high praise from the audience. At the close of the mootinirs nearly every minister in the city spoke foraminuto or moro in hearty com mendation of the work. Sam compli mented the press for its clear reports of hia sermons. Ho also had a kind word for the ushers , cordial thanks for the ministers , and spoke feelingly of his attachment for the people of the town , though ho confessed that ho had spoken "many hard words" to them , but that ho had felt it was "his duty to load thorn around bv Mount Slimi before ho planted tholr foot on Mount Calvary. " * Colnnol Jncarsoll'H View ol' Divorce. The good homo IB the unit of the good government , writes Ingorsoll In the North American Review. The honrthbtono is the cornor-stono of civil ization. Society is not interested in the preservation of hateful homos , of hoinos where husbands and wives are selfish , cold nnd cruel. It is not to the interest of society that good women should bo enslaved , that they should llvo in fear , or that they should become mothers by husband * whom tlioy halo , Homos bhould be filled with kind and generous fathers , with true and loving mothers ; and xvhon they are so filled , the world will bo civilized. Intelli gence will rock the crndlo ; justice will sit in the courts ; wisdom in the legisla tive halls , and above all and ever all , llko the dome of hoiivon , will bo the spirit of liberty. Although marriage is the most important and the most bacrod contract that human beings can make , still when that contract has been violated , courts should have the power to declare it null and void upon such conditions as may bo just. As a rule , the woman dowers her husband with hoc youth , her beauty , her love with all she has ; and from this contract cer tainly the husband should never bo released , unless the wifo. hns broken the conditions of that contract.

I found in a shop in Wardour street the other day , say3 the P.ill Mall Ga- Kotlo , an old stone bottle of the typo , I suppose , of those which John Gilpln carried , and inscribed as follows in bold italic characters incised on its rough brown surface : "William and Ann Thinks no Sin to Drink a Glass of Brit ish Gin. 1791. " This Inscription , llko Cowpor'a celebrated ballad , is about one hundred years old , but the connection of drink and patriotism was as strongly marked then ny now , and evidently in duced William and Ann to contemplate with prldo the consumption of British as compared with foreign liquor. The deliberation with which they iminor- tali/.o their unhappy taste will doubt- leas shock Sir Wilfred Lawsonof whoso muse , however , their jingling rhyme is perhaps not unworthy , if we may'judge by some recent examples. Perhaps some antiquarian may tell mo who " William and Ann can" have been. I can think of no such couple except the Sliakcspcarcs ; but they lived 200 years too soon.

Many stories are current of the re markable intelligence of the elephant , but I have come across something BO conclusive of the noble animal's pngacity as the story of the elephant which broke loose the other day at Leigh , in Lan cashire , says the London Truth. On gaining its liberty , this intelligent beast made straight for the Conserva tive club and did its best to demolish the front of the promises , after which ho proceeded to the parish church and battered down a gate which barred the public access to the sacred cdiflco. Leigh is a strongly radical town , and there can bq little doubt , I take it , that this is a radical elephant , whoInspired by a genius loci , determined to hold a political demonstration on his own ac count.

A gentleman who died recently near Berlin desired to liavo his tombstone decorated by the following legend : "I believe in one Savior isi him every body must believe , of whatever religion ho may bo and ho is death , for ho re leases us from all our troubles.
